Ken Parkhurst hot rodder take on the '73 ES. Bought the '73 back in 2003
from. It had already been hopped up with a cam & twin Webers, plus IPD
springs, sway bars, Bilstein shocks and had a limited slip rear end. I
jettisoned the engine & trans, substituted a Vintage Performance
Developments (John Parker) supercharged engine plus progressive front
springs. Had an AW71 automatic trans from an '86 740T "massaged" and
installed.
Ken has also redesigns for the front & rear of the body, dash & interior
upholstery.
An old friend, Kenton Lotz, did all body, assembly & paint. Albert Lara did
the upholstery. Tom Colby a fine mechanic and former racer his shop is
"Speedwell Engineering" has got the complex wiring and machinery ( the
engine, etc. is managed by a system called "Electromotive") working great.
